Shop Assistant Duties and Responsibilities
Shop assistants must perform many duties and responsibilities to support both the front and back end of a retail environment. We researched many shop assistant job descriptions in a variety of industries to put together the following list of shop assistant duties and responsibilities:
Help Customers Find Items on Sales Floor The sales floor of most shops is constantly rotating based on current stock and promotions. Shop assistants have to be aware of each product’s location and maintain product knowledge for everything sold in their shop. This helps shop assistants provide the best service to customers.
Inform Customers of Current Promotions Shop assistants often serve as a shop’s sales force. They must maintain knowledge of the current promotions and ensure every customer they interact with is aware of the promotions.
Process and Back Stock Shipment In some companies, shop assistants work on the stock team to receive shipments each day, scan in the boxes and process the product based on company standards. Once the product is processed, they either backstock it or bring it to the sales floor.
Perform Routine Price Audits Price discrepancies can cost a shop money. Shop assistants use a pricing gun linked to their company’s inventory system to check for price changes and then use a label printer to print and apply these changes.
Perform Opening and Closing Housekeeping Tasks Shop assistants perform the basic housekeeping tasks necessary to get a store back in shape after a day of business. This includes windexing windows and mirrors, dusting fixtures, and vacuuming the shop floor. It also involves restocking the floor and ensuring all products are merchandised according to company standards.
